Question:
He says: If a person wants to perform Hajj for the first time in his life, which of the types of Hajj is the best for him to choose?
Answer:
The best is to choose tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them). He enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah from the miqat (boundary) he passes through. Then, when he arrives in Makkah, he performs the rites of 'Umrah, which are tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), and shaving the head or shortening the hair. By doing so, he has completed the 'Umrah and exits the state of ihram. When the eighth day comes, which is the Day of Tarwiyah, he enters the state of ihram for Hajj from the place where he is staying. Yes.
